30 August 2016, Index number: MDE 12/4735/2016

One week since Islam Khalil’s bail of 50,000 Egyptian pounds (US$5,510) was paid, the 27-year-old survivor of enforced disappearance and torture has yet to be released. Instead of complying with a court order for his release, police officers have fabricated a new charge against him and subjected him to severe beating.
